    Real reason being that castles became obsolete in the face of increasingly powerful weaponry.

    Also the whole meaning behind the phrase "where will you hide?" is because there is NOWHERE they can hide in the event of revolution. If a bunch of rich people tried to bunker up in some redoubt somewhere it is at best self imprisonment. Let alone they could just be starved out assuming the revolutionaries couldn't breach their defenses (which they inevitably would).

      Somebody should tell the billionaires that're planning to hide in New Zealand that underground bunkers still have air intake pipes to stop the underground residents from passing away of asphyxiation.

        That's where you're wrong, comrade. It's more fun if nobody tells them. It'll be a nice surprise for them.
